I buy most of my groceries generic/store brand because in many cases, it is the same product as some of the name brands. I also buy things like sandwich bags, paper towels, etc. in the store brand.
It would probably be easier for me to answer what I don't buy generic than what I do! 🤣 I'll definitely buy name brand if the quality is noticeably better and I feel it's worth it, but if there's little to no difference (or in some cases, if the generic is actually better), I typically go with generic to save as much as possible.
With other items that I expect to have for quite a while, however, I really put an emphasis on quality and durability and don't do cheap or cheaply made (though unfortunately, expensive and/or popular name brands don't always guarantee quality, especially in today's age of planned obsolescence). Even if I have to buy an older but well-maintained secondhand model, I'm 1,000% fine with that and much prefer it. I actually do a lot of secondhand shopping for this reason.
